Solidifying an Expanded Shape

Hi all.

Draw a polyline rectangle as shown in Image 1.
Image 2: Use PRESSPULL to add thickness to the plane.
Image 3: Rotate the three planes with 3DROTATE.

Is it possible to do these processes automatically?

The thickness will be written in USERR1, and the rotation angle will be written as 1040 in the extended data of each plane.
Also, the original center polyline is number 0, and the hierarchy of the faces derived from it is added one by one and written in the extended data
In this example, I will write 1070
In this example, I wanted to sequentially 3DROTARE the (1070 0) ones by 90 degrees.

However, this method doesn't seem to work because the solids created by PRESSPULL don't seem to be associated with the original shapes.

Is there any good way to do this?

 

Thank you.

It is possible and it's simple : Just apply complete procedure to entities (polylines/regions) one by one in correct order... Complete procedure must be applied each time with each derived 3d entity (3d solid) in sequence you described, so that you can track lastly created/derived one and apply transformations (3d rotations) to it from data obtained from their correct reference source entity... Note : if you need to preserve sources like in your pictures, you should specify DELOBJ system variable to 0. This ensures you may track data from source entities even if newly created 3d primitives are appended to database so that you can apply proceeding transformations to them...

Do I need to add a database of the original entity and the three-dimensional entity for each conversion?
I will study it again.


Thank you very much.
